Another popular log analyzer is webalizer. Webalizer was specifically written to produce an HTML page with graphing statistics for access to a web site. Figure 7-1 shows a webalizer page for a busy site.

Figure 7-1: Webalizer output
The webalizer page is quite long and contains information on the amount of traffic served; how many hits per month, per day, per hour; ranking of the most popular pages; and so on. To access specific information about a certain month, you can click its entry and you will be presented with a screen similar to Figure 7-2.

Figure 7-2: Month output in webalizer
Webalizer outputs all of its data by default into /var/lib/webalizer, which is linked to
/srv/www/htdocs/webalizer for serving via Apache.
- Cross- Apache configuration is covered in Chapter 16.
: Reference
This allows you to automate the running of webalizer on a foreign system and, at the same time, allows you to access the results via the web server you are analyzing.
We will not talk about the configuration of webalizer here, as the configuration file /etc/ webalizer.conf is extremely well documented, and the default suits 99 percent of people who need to analyze their web traffic.
